Used it successfully for bowhunting rabbits. Devastating, incredible performance on a 42 yard shot - awesome.

These blunts are fantastic for stump shooting: they have saved me dozens of broken arrows. However, this morning in my deer stand I took a shot at a squirrel with a 50 lb longbow and hit him squarely in the chest without killing him. The squirrel was clearly injured, but was able to hobble away to a hole in the tree for safety, and then a half hour later appeared to have made a full recovery. I'm switching to something made of harder rubber or metal.

I've put these on both wood and carbon shafts, all with flu-flu's. If you round off your field points or just remove them from your wood arrows, you shouldn't have any problems with these. Unless, of course, you're shooting really high poundage at really close range at really hard stuff.

Oh, and let some air out of your soccer ball before you shoot at it. You and anybody standing around you will be glad you did.

Worked perfectly for my purpose ... youth safetyI have four grandsons, 3 to 9. I looked around for many beginner bows and accompaning arrows. All the descent bows came with bullet tip (pointed) target arrows. I bought these and slid them over the points. They work prefectly. They are heavy duty and very snug and don't seem prone to come off. They are too tight for my boys to pull off. Now I can take them all shooting in the woods with piece of mind. I hung some 2 litre plastic trink bottles on strings from tree limbs that postion the bottles close to the ground. Now we stroll along a path and wack at each target as we encounter it. They love it. I love it.

These rubber blunts are great for stump shooting, or small game. I have used them successfully on rabbits. The blunts are designed to fit only on arrow shafts that have tapered points, so be sure to taper wooden arrows, as if preparing them for glue-on points!

I bought this blunt BC I wanted something to bust squirrels with. I put them on my carbon arrows that I shoot out of a ~63 lb compound. I thought the rubber would absorb more energy than what they do. I did break one arrow when it hit a hard surface that didn't give but that's to be expected. The blunt is devastating to small game though, exceeding expectations. It also flies extremely well. I haven't noticed any erratic flight, even at 30 yards.

I love shooting rubber blunts. I love plinking pop cans and soccerballs with them in the yard, and stumping with them too. They don't bury into stumps like a steel point would. They also don't dig under the grass.

With that said, I was super disappointed with these. When I first got them I slipped them over a steel blunt to get the weight up to 300gr. Whenever they hit something they deformed, and sat crooked on the arrow. They also started pushing through the rubber after only a few shots. To fix this I tried grinding a field point at a 5 degree angle, making a super heavy adapter. This worked a little better, the rubber blunts sat straight atleast. The trouble was when I hit a firmer stump from about 30 yards back, the adapter pushed through the rubber completely. I was bummed, but figured it was a fluke. Then it happened again. To be clear the front of the adapter I made was not pointy at all. I shoot 70# with 700gr arrows, which I think was the reason they failed. If you shoot heavy then these might break on you.

I did take out a squirrel with these. The shot was too far back, but I took out the spine no problem. The blunt also caused tons of internal bleeding, and the critter didn't go more than a few yards before expiring. After I skinned it out I found the blunt had punched a hole in the abdominal lining, but not the hide. Very pleased with these from a hunting perspective, squirrels are tough and these blunts would be perfect for getting them down from trees.

These blunts are tapered on the inside, so they don't fit well over a square steel blunt. If you grind a field point into an adapter though, they rock.

For stumping they are perfect. They don't bury under stuff, and are easy enough to find in snow because they make a big hole going in so you know where to dig. They also bounce off of hard stuff unharmed, and don't stick into stuff.

For hunting they rock. I ground a 300gr field point down to a 175gr adapter, and stuck it inside mine to make a 300gr point. I shoot it off of a 70# bow on a 700gr arrow. Let me tell you these things are devastating if you have some power behind them. I've taken the heads off of birds (starlings are a huntable pest around here) with them. I have also taken a grey squirrel with one on a less than perfect shot. The blunt shattered the spine nicely, and somehow managed to put an inch wide hole in the muscle surrounding the guts, but did not puncture the squirrels hide.

Anyway, I had my doubts about how a little rubber cap would do on something as tough as a squirrel, but I was hugely impressed. Massive internal bleeding, critter didn't go 3 yards.

I would recommend these to anyone, they are a fantastic stumping and hunting point. They are also really fun for casual practice on pumpkins and pop cans and such. They are a must have item if you shoot squirrels in trees. They will never stick into the bark.

I used the bunny buster over a field point, for stump shooting and squirrel hunting. The points are very easy to install and stay on the arrow without getting loose. A well placed shot will take a squirrel with no problem and stump shooting is easy because the tip won't dig in the ground.
